Scor-Pal and Paper Smooches Week

Hi everyone, This week the designers from Scor-pal and  Paper Smooches  have an awesome blog hop for you.  Be sure to stop by everyone's blog to see what they've been up to.  Scor-Pal will be giving away 3 prizes packages - each one includes a Paper Smooches stamp that we've shown this week as well as Scor-tape. Leave comments on the Scor-Pal blog this week for your chance to win!

  I received the Think Fast stamp set from Paper Smooches, and knew that it would be fun to make a french-fry box.

I used a template for the box, and although I didn't have to do any measuring/scoring, I still think it is so much easier to use my Scor-Pal to score the marked lines.

I also used my Scor-Pal to make my dimensional banner.  I cut a strip of paper 3/4" wide, stamped my sentiment, and scored 2 marks to the left and 2 marks to the right (each separated by 1/2").

Expanding Box Tutorial

 I had seen this sliding box on Pinterest, from Wenche's blog, 
but I needed to convert it to inches rather than centimeters. 

 Cut a piece of cardstock 9 1/2 x 11 1/4".  With the long side against the top fence of your Scor-Pal, score at 2 1/4",     4  1/2", 6 3/4" and 9".  Turn the paper so the short side is against the top fence and score at 1/2",         2  3/4", 6 3/4", and 9"

 

Cut as shown.

Score diagonally, as marked with the dotted lines.

Measure 1/2" from the bottom of the diagonally scored flaps, and mark a notch.  Use something oval shaped to trace a cutting line to shape the paper like this:

 

Cut the rounded edges.

Cut two pieces of cardstock, 2 1/4", x 2 1/2".  With the longer side against the top fence, score at 2 1/4", so you have a 2 1/4" square.  Add Scor-tape to the folded lip of the center flap, and attach these pieces to extend the flap.  (The 1/4" flap of the small piece of cardstock will be adhered to the bottom of the box to form a pocket to slide the rounded flaps into).

 

Add your designer papers before assembling the box, and decorate as desired.

The much anticipated Build a Flower #2 is awesome! There are so many kinds of flowers you can make with these components.  Poppies are one of my very favorite flowers, and are so easy to make with this set.  I also used the Build a Flower Embellishment #2 for my flower centers and to make the Baby's Breath.

The Chicken Wire Frame is another one of my favorites.  This is such a trendy look, and is the perfect way to "pin" a picture to my layout.

I used the Inlay technique that Mike explains in this video workshop to add colored velvet papers to my hummingbird.  I added several layers of cardboard underneath my bird to raise him up, so that he is feeding from the flowers.
